What Is It?

The Honda CBR1000RR Fireblade is a dedicated premium sports bike and is powered by a liquid cooled 999.8 cc inline four cylinder engine, producing 178.4 bhp at 12,250 rpm and maximum torque at 10,500 rpm.

Features include:

• Aluminium frame and swingarm
• Dual 320 mm discs up front with Tokico four piston calipers
• 220 mm disc at the rear with Nissin single piston caliper
• Adjustable 43 mm Showa BPF upside down fork with 120 mm travel
• Adjustable Showa shock with 62 mm travel
• Electronic steering damper, slipper clutch
• 6 speed gearbox with gear position indicator
• LED tail light

Compared to the 2012-2013 model the engine has received extensive work on the cylinder head, improving inlet and exhaust gas flow and combustion efficiency. The result is a small jump in peak power and improved mid-range torque. The riding position has also been refined, with revised handlebar and footpeg position.

Honda say the engine is "Blueprinted". That means in the factory each batch of pistons and rods are weighed, then those that most closely match the middle tolerance and each other are used, giving the engine more balance at higher RPMs. The 12-spoke 17" wheels take a 120/70 tyre at the front and 190/50 at the rear.

Options include Combined ABS (+11 kg, £600), pillion seat cowl, rear hugger, 27 mm taller screen, comfort seat and a variety of Carbon Fibre bits.

• 2014: Red/white/blue, Repsol (red/orange/white), black, white/black
• 2015: Red/white/blue, black

215,000 Fireblades have been sold since 1992.
